Sony just pulled the cloth off two new phones for the future. They are called the Xperia Acro S and the Xperia Go. Both are "semi-rugged" devices, meaning they are designed to be water, scratch and dust resistant. The Xperia Go is a mid-range device, but the Xperia Acro S has some fairly stout higher-end features. Here's a breakdown of both:

12MP fast capture camera goes from sleep to snap in just over a second with a single key press

PlayStation™ Certified

Full 1080p HD video recording and 720p HD front camera

Scratch resistant mineral glass display with wet finger tracking

IP55 and IP57 Ratings for dust and water resistance

1.5Ghz dual core processor gives consumers super fast performance

Launching on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)

Available in black, white and pink colours

Sony just keeps cranking out amazing phones. Along with all these new devices, they are one of the fastest OEMs to update their products to the latest versions of Android. How many of you guys would consider a Sony phone? I wonder if Sony will be one of the five manufacturers that Google will be working with later this year for the 5 Google Nexus devices...

The Xperia Acro S looks excellent! Yes, I would buy from Sony in a heartbeat. I think they do a good job with their mobile devices and in the last year they have been excellent at updating their phones!

I know Sony was working on a phone with an S4 that has the Adreno 320 GPU. Does anyone know if this is it?

Any chance this will have a 3300mAH battery?!?! That's one reason I'm still kind of waiting on the Fighter/Razr HD. I love the way Moto realized that phones just need bigger batteries and they figured out how to do it without making the phone huge!

This sure looks like a contender though. I like the way Sony generally uses LCD displays and the Bravia display sounds great - I love my Bravia TV at home

Definitely still have my attention with these. Odds are we won't be seeing Quad core offerings from anyone in the near future anyone with the requirements of LTE at the moment so this looks to definitely be a phone that can get anyone through the next two years. Shipping with ICS, great looks, great specs. Add to that Sony Dev support and Beta Roms and I'm very interested.
